EDITOR’S PREVIEW Volume 39 • Number 1 JANUARY 2020 Landan Kuhlmann Lead Reporter

Office Orioles takes care of commercial moving needs The name of the game in today’s hustle and bustle world is speed and accuracy – but more often the former. Not a second can be wasted in a time when bottom lines rule the day, but an organized office is also a necessity.

So why not let someone else take care of your office while you tackle the world? That’s where Office Orioles – Above the Clutter enters the picture.

Office Orioles was formed last year to help other businesses tackle projects they’d rather avoid. The company offers services from furniture assembly to decluttering to hauling away that spare room full of chairs that don’t work anymore for companies in the Greater Houston area. Office Orioles can also disassemble old furniture, remove it from the premises and install a company’s new items.

As I sat with Mickey Beavan, who runs most of the operation, he regaled me with the story of how the company started – and exists – with the sole purpose of helping companies

de-stress in any area they can. They run a business themselves, so these guys know how hectic the daily life can be. And that’s exactly where they come into the picture.

Often times, big-picture goals can allow more trivial, day-to-day things to slip through the cracks. But Beavan and the Office Orioles staff have an acute sense of realizing that organization in an office can go a long way.

Whether it’s a business manager or employee being able to find that merger paperwork promptly or simply being able to grab a pen at the drop of a hat to sign off on a transaction, everything in today’s business world hinges on flow and being able to streamline every process in any feasible way possible. It’s what Beavan and his staff can offer any business owner.

So read the story on what Office Orioles has to offer your business inside today’s Business Journal, and give them a call if you’re so inclined.

NEW ATTRACTIONS OPENING AROUND FORT BEND

Another new business allows area residents to combine the necessity of a haircut with the luxury of a good time.

Earlier this month, Pluckers announced that the company will open its newest location Jan. 27 at The Grid at 12469 Hwy. 59. It will be the fifth location in the Greater Houston region for the Austin-based wing joint.

“We are filled with excitement to be opening our 25th restaurant in the city that has proved to be one of our most successful markets.” Pluckers co-founder Dave Paul said in a news release.

The restaurant specializes in traditional and boneless wings, which can be flavored with more than 20 homemade sauces and dry rubs.

Pluckers also serves dozens of salads, sandwiches, burgers, appetizers and desserts.

For more information, visit pluckers.com.

How are Sports & Medical Massage different from regular Swedish Massage?

Swedish massage is often used as a stress reliever using light to medium strokes. Where Sports & Medical massage are often used to help with specific injuries, ailments and post surgery after care.

Bayou Staffing seeks to provide employment solutions

By Landan Kuhlmann LKuhlmann@fortbendstar.com It can take time to break in new employees – time which many companies simply do not have.

However, a recently-started staffing agency is attempting to be an intermediary in the hiring process and provide area companies the luxury of ready-made employees at the drop of a hat.

Bayou Staffing, which opened in 2018, specializes in temporary, temp-to-hire and direct placement staffing services, with resources that extend throughout the Houston Metropolitan area and around the country.

Marketing Director Yolanda Vasquez said Bayou has developed its staffing and recruiting services to serve the needs of those seeking qualified temporary, tempto-hire and permanent placement employees.

She said the company’s founder used to be part of an engineering firm that utilized such a service, which later paved

HELPING DECLUTTER BUSINESS LIFE COVER STORY

LANDAN KUHLMANN

BY

It never fails – at the worst possible time, your company announces that the lease on its building is up or the price has risen, and a crunch has necessitated moving to a different location.

So now, on top of focusing on bottom lines and employee performance, having to pack up those office chairs, cubicles and desks adds another layer of stress to the daily job.

But what if there was someone out there willing to take on those tasks in order to help keep you running in the midst of a move so you don’t have to? Since opening just last year, Houston-based Office Orioles and its staff have dedicated themselves to helping businesses improve their office space and thereby their productivity.

Founded when a subsidiary company couldn’t find reasonably priced options to help break down office cubes, install new furniture and hang wall mounts, Vice President Mickey Beavan said Office Orioles was launched in September 2019 to help other commercial businesses tackle projects they would rather avoid.

Though Houston-based, Office Orioles has also done work for commercial businesses in Sugar Land and surrounding Houston Metro areas.

“The issue was, ‘How do we get the cubicles and furniture out of here and who to call?’ ” Beavan said. “We couldn’t find anyone who was readily available to do that in that sense. That’s how the inspiration happened. We thought, ‘We’ve got a skill in that area. Could we do more with that? Were there other companies that need it the way we did?’ ” Beavan has 20 years of experience in facility management, having worked in the field at SMU, Tulane, Rice and Houston

Beavan Baptist University as well as setting up the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. Office Orioles offer businesses everything from furniture assembly to decluttering to hauling away that spare room full of chairs that don’t work anymore.

“We’re not a furniture company, and we’re not a moving company,” Beavan said. “But we can help you find furniture and help you move.”

Office Orioles can disassemble your

old furniture, remove it from your premises and install your new items. Have old, dated cubicles you need gone, or things stored for a new flooring project in your office?

They have a solution for that, too.

“We can do a little of everything for the company itself, basically helping you and your office make a better presentation for your clientele,” Beavan said. “We weren’t sure what needs we were going to find with businesses out there, but we were going to help them. That’s who we are, and that’s the best thing we can do.

We’ll help you, or find somebody who can.”

Oftentimes, big-picture goals can allow day-to-day operations to slip through the cracks. But Beavan and his Office Orioles staff know that organization in an office can go a long way in creating more CONTINUES...

productivity. In addition to its teardown services, the company also offers blog posts on its website with helpful tips on office organization.

“We’re there for any company who needs us to facilitate and lighten their load when it comes to moving. It’s a big strain on everybody in the company,” Operations Coordinator Scott Muirhead said. “You’re already doing what you’ve got to do. Now you’ve got to move on top of that. It can be overwhelming.”

Beavan runs a business himself, so he knows how hectic the daily life can be.

However, a recently-started staffing agency is attempting to be an intermediary in the hiring process and provide area companies the luxury of ready-made employees at the drop of a hat.

Bayou Staffing, which opened in 2018, specializes in temporary, temp-to-hire and direct placement staffing services, with resources that extend throughout the Houston Metropolitan area and around the country.

Marketing Director Yolanda Vasquez said Bayou has developed its staffing and recruiting services to serve the needs of those seeking qualified temporary, tempto-hire and permanent placement employees.

She said the company’s founder used to be part of an engineering firm that utilized such a service, which later paved

the way for the idea of Bayou Staffing. without the typical hassle, according to “As an employer, you’re having to set Vasquez. time apart to create a job description from The company conducts a full prescratch, get together with your team and employment check such as advertising, figure out what you’re looking for, screening, interviews, drug screens and interviewing the candidates and getting reference checks to prepare potential them qualified,” she said. employees, providing them with the necessary information to maximize the Bayou Staffing maintains a database of job applicants and employees for hiring process. industries such as fabrication, administrative, engineering, industrial, BAYOU STAFFING CONTINUES...page 14 maintenance, sales, construction and more to help If the insurance business owners companies estimate find the right fit
